CONTRACT NO. K-1314-110: A CONTRACT BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN UTILITIES AUTHORITY AND ALAN PLUMMER AND ASSOCIATES, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $99,900 TO PROVIDE PRELIMINARY DESIGN, SURVEYING, AND GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES FOR THE ROBINSON WATER LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT BETWEEN 24TH AVENUE N.W. AND 36TH AVENUE N.W.
Body
BACKGROUND: The Robinson Water Line Relocation Project (WA0195) will replace approximately 5,300 feet of deteriorated 24-inch water line along Robinson generally between 36th Avenue NW and 24th Avenue NW as illustrated in the attached map. This cast iron water line was constructed in the early 1970's and has had numerous leaks resulting in significant loss of water and damage to the overlying or adjacent roadway. Repairs to this large diameter water line are very expensive, time consuming for staff and are very disruptive to traffic in the area as repairs are completed.
It is expected that the water line will be upsized to 30-inches in diameter to improve water transmission to western Norman and be constructed of non-corrosive materials such as PVC or HDPE. The design work will be coordinated with the Public Works Department and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) as the water line crosses I-35 and is in the area of the proposed I-35 ramp realignment at Robinson. It is expected the project will include a 48-inch diameter bore under I-35 from 24th Avenue NW to Interstate Drive and under 36th Avenue NW. Similarly, it is expected that the water line crossing under Brookhaven Creek will be directionally drilled to minimize environmental impacts.
Request for Proposal No. RFP-1314-28 was distributed to consultants on September 9, 2013 and fourteen (14) proposals were received on October 9, 2013.
